Description:
Written by Tony R. Kuphaldt, this chapter of All About Circuit's fourth volume on Digital circuits examines Boolean algebra and logic. The chapter has a helpful introduction that discusses the difference between real and complex numbers and provides a brief history of mathematical logic. The chapter is then divided up into eight sections, on topics from Boolean algebraic identities and properties to circuit simplification to DeMorgan's Theorems. Each section has clear illustrations and a concise, bulleted review of what was covered at the end, and the resource as a whole is excellent for use in applied physics and mathematics classrooms.
